Skating Lesson-should they interview Tonya for 20 year anniversary?

I was looking for Scott Hamilton-he 's not there -and I know I saw epi. 1. Did he have it removed? Who do you wish to hear from? I'd like to hear Kerrigan talk about her loss to Baiul 20 years later...I think she can be forthright now. Are there other Web formats where skaters are interviewed regularly? Thank you if you know where they are.

In my opinion Harding should not get any attention in skating world. She does not deserve it.

I agree! I never want to see her face again after what she instigated (and IMO she was the cause of it all). Nancy Kerrigan is very fortunate that she "only" suffered a whack on her knee from these creeps.

I know there was a thread about Tonya giving an interview somewhere in November. At first I was well, yuck, but now anything skating related -and that was a huge game changer for pro skating-Tonya and her goons gave pro skater a solid 10 years of big, big, money. Roz Sumners has 4 houses!!!! And I agree Krislite, did the general public even care about Baiul? Or do they remember what man won gold in 94? I barely do myself. Nancy/Tonya was the story. Tonya was an abused girl who I think saw only one way to get that gold. She was poorly educated, knew nada but skating. She was immature like most skaters-they are babies who spend their time at the rink, and most must give up school to get to the top.

Everyone wants to know what nancy feels about Tonya. SHe addressed that in 1998 in a joint interview on TV. But she said little over the years re Oksana. I really feel that was the only Gold medal wuzrobbed I have seen. She should have won based on the skates and the rules at the time. Oksana would still have been a star with silver. America embraced her just as they did Katia a year later for different reasons. Again, are there aany other interview formats like TSL who are talking with impt. skaters???? What would be a very good blog where author has great contacts? There must be others. Thanks.

I think all the suggestions would be great interviews, even Tonya Harding. Having a hard-knock life is by no means any excuse for what happened, but considering her circumstances, the company she was keeping and her own personal short-comings you can see how she would go down the path that she did. People make mistakes. It's tragic that she lacked a good support system to help rein her in and give her a reality check as to what was happening to her career. She had so much talent, and I don't think her accomplishments as a skater should be ignored either. As for Nancy, I too was baffled when she lost to Oksana and it would be interesting to hear her thoughts on that. I was only a kid at the time but to me it was pretty obvious who skated better. Also an interview of the two Brians would be fabulous. I always wished they could have tied for the gold.

Incidentally, Scott Hamilton's interview on TSL is still available. They just moved their website so maybe that's why you couldn't find it. If you follow their facebook page they have a link to it. Other places where you can find interviews of people in the skating world are Is That A Skate Guard In Your Pocket Or Are You Happy To See Me? and The Manleywoman Skatecast.

Tonya Harding has, to my knowledge, never spoken about The Whack unless she was paid to do so, and I doubt she will change her tune this late in the game. But it would be priceless to see Tonya go head to head with Aunt Joyce at her bitchiest. I'd pay to see that. LOL!
